Rose Group Home –
Where Compassion Meets Excellence
Located in a peaceful, newly developed neighborhood in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the Rose Group Home offers a warm, supportive living environment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As part of the HSH Care family, this home reflects the highest standards of care, comfort, and community inclusion.
The home itself is spacious and modern, featuring private bedrooms, bright communal areas, and a safe, landscaped outdoor space ideal for relaxation and recreation. Its placement within a new, amenity-rich community ensures easy access to parks, shopping, healthcare facilities, and other local resources, helping residents remain connected and engaged in everyday life.
At the heart of the home is Robertha Rose, a compassionate and experienced provider with a deep-rooted commitment to individuals with special needs. Robertha brings over 15 years of experience in the human services field, including her work as a teacher in Prince William County. Her educational background and professional history are complemented by her most personal role—that of a parent to a child with special needs. This lived experience gives her an unmatched level of empathy and understanding that resonates with the families she supports and sets her apart in the field.
What also makes Robertha’s home truly special is her passion for creating meaningful life experiences. She has taken residents on unforgettable trips to Disney World, Nashville, and Jamaica, believing wholeheartedly in the value of travel, exploration, and joy. These adventures reflect her belief that life should be full of enrichment, regardless of ability.
Under Robertha’s leadership, residents benefit from structured routines, individualized support, and a caring environment that promotes both independence and safety. Families and case managers can be assured that each resident is treated with dignity, respect, and unwavering commitment.
Through her partnership with HSH Care, Robertha Rose offers not just a place to live—but a place to thrive.
Home Sweet Home Care is a welcoming adult group home nestled on a serene two-acre property in Manassas, Virginia, dedicated to supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment that promotes independence, personal growth, and a strong sense of community.
Under the compassionate leadership of Executive Director Vonda Merrill, who brings over 30 years of experience in the ID/DD field, our residents receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs. Vonda's extensive background includes roles as a Severe/Profound Classroom Teacher, Case Manager for Early Intervention, and Autism Consultant. For the past eight years, she has opened her personal home to adults with intellectual disabilities, providing daily support and care. Her dedication ensures that each resident is treated with dignity and respect, fostering a family-like atmosphere.
Our spacious home offers private, fully furnished bedrooms equipped with smart TVs, providing comfort and privacy. Residents enjoy chef-prepared meals that cater to individual dietary needs and cultural preferences, including international cuisine days. The property features an organic garden, where residents actively participate in planting, tending, and harvesting, promoting healthy living and a connection to nature.
We believe in enriching experiences beyond our home. Residents have the opportunity to travel annually to various destinations across the United States and abroad. Past trips have included visits to Disney World, Jamaica, Nashville, Tennessee, Myrtle Beach, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, and Virginia Beach. These excursions provide invaluable experiences, broadening horizons and creating lasting memories.
At Home Sweet Home Care, we are committed to creating a supportive and engaging environment where individuals with intellectual disabilities can thrive. Our person-centered approach ensures that each resident receives the care and attention they deserve, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.
Experience the warmth and dedication that make Home Sweet Home Care a place where individuals feel truly at home.
Nestled near Fredericksburg’s vibrant shopping and parks – just minutes from Central Park’s 200+ retailers and the Spotsylvania Towne Centre Mall – our home provides a safe, comfortable environment for adults with intellectual disabilities. Inside, you’ll find a sunny large family room with plush sofas and a downstairs recreational area filled with games, crafts, and TV for movie nights. A cozy reception area welcomes visiting family members with comfortable chairs, a coffee station and complimentary snacks and beverages, so visits feel relaxed and inviting. Tasteful, homey touches abound: soft throw pillows, warm lamps, houseplants, and framed photos of residents and loved ones make the house feel truly like a family living room. This personal, family-like setting is designed to foster independence and dignity for each resident .
Our dedicated caregivers are on duty around the clock, providing trained 24/7 support to ensure every need is met. We empower residents to achieve personal goals: arranging transportation to work and coordinating with vocational and community resources like Virginia’s DARS vocational services, local chapters of The Arc, and assistance with Social Security benefits. Residents enjoy an active social life, from playing in Special Olympics teams to joining local clubs. In Fredericksburg, we celebrate community – our residents smile on the red carpet at the annual Night to Shine prom for people with disabilities, and they attend neighborhood holiday parties and family-style events. With parks, cafes and shops nearby, family outings and visits are both easy and frequent, so everyone stays connected.
In every detail, we treat each person like family. Plush throw blankets and the aroma of home-baked cookies create a cozy atmosphere that immediately feels welcoming. We have warm traditions – for example, a “memory wall” corner where staff and loved one’s post photos and mementos celebrating each resident’s life – so that everyone’s story is honored. Caregivers know residents by name and even plan little surprises, whether it’s baking a favorite cake on a birthday or hosting a backyard barbeque. Because our staff are licensed and trained, and present day and night, families can be confident their loved ones are safe, healthy and cherished here. This nurturing, family-like atmosphere – with gentle support, sunny gathering spaces, and heartfelt care at every turn – gives families peace of mind and makes our home a place where residents truly belong.
Our home’s philosophy and features reflect best practices in developmental disability services and community resources in Fredericksburg.
